>> members of the board, ray -- thus the state never intentionally confronts a man's sense intellectual or moral but on the his body. it is with superior physical strength. i was not born to be forced. i will breathe after my own fashion. let us see who is the strongest. what you see on the screen, is a letter that is september to the san francisco bay guardian. i'm here to talk about the letter. after it was found to violate the law the statement of economic interest, the library commission wanted to help. so what they decided to do is hold a series of

discussions outside the public. these were to formulate and revise and statement which demonstrated for release. this was all done illegally. violation of the sunshine ordinance and the brown act. they then next directed a city employee to release the letter on official stationery to the san francisco bay guardian and to the public. after we raised these questions, they said we'll track it after it had been used legally. today i will discuss specifics about this letter. today i just want to ask this. did mr. herrera learn to act illegally from the library commission or vice versa. personally, i think they have been colluding so long to e evade the law it's simply second nature for now. this was done completely unlawfully violation of the brown act all

of this was done with private conversations between those board members led by gomez who is already recommended for removal. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon. the libraries action go on and compound. but the supervisors, your body is looking the other way and so you are complicity is very sad and inappropriate thing. last week i mentioned in the cover story i said it had problems that included the size

of the friends group operation for example not just providing a party with a contract here or there, but in the case of sf pl raising in 12 years 2000-2012, 10s of millions of dollars which only 10 percent reached the library. specifically from 2000-2012, i noticed the friends of sf pl had spent $56 million but given the library only $5. they raised and spent $56 million but gave the library less than one 10th which is 5 million. i also said the supervisors received

information from the department which was riddled with information and i will go into that further in a letter. i'm concerned about the supervisors. the only thing in 5 years that you have approved in donations from a friend is 9 days prior to the end of the fiscal year use this year approve this donation. >> good afternoon. make this city shine. give it the dime. make it real fine and look for it not behind. maim -- make it always be kind and it's all mine

always be kind. make this city shine and in mine. city be kind and it no line and it going to be hungry. free downtown. you will be playing city politics.

there is the city and she's climbing the stairway to heaven. when she gets there she knows that general hospital's programs are all closed. we are always going to be down road. it has to be closer for dialysis. >> next speaker. good afternoon. board of supervisors, i'm here to say that tomorrow i'm attending a

funeral and i noticed in bayview, in that small area there is a lot of black men dying of prostate cancer. these contractors out there have refused to an abate the dust, the rest of them. the other day there was a meeting at my home where i asked the supervisors what can be done about this contract. if they were in a white community. they would not refuse to abate the dust. it's horrible out there in the ship yards. it's not all right. every week there are two or three black men dying from cancer. it's epidemic but no one wants to deal with it. what's confusing to me if those many white men are dying in the

district or anywhere there would be something done about it. because we are black, no one wants to do anything about it. i'm bringing it to your attention, that in bayview, there are too many deaths of prostate cancer and also women having breast cancer and that's been going on for the last 5-10 years. but you won't do anything about it. i'm here to ask you can't you do anything about these contractors because it's probably a product of the dust. would you go and see if you can do anything about the health department or do something about the high rate of cancer in that community where i live. >> supervisors, good evening. i

want to give a general statement about our obligations to our homeless neighbors and public space. i don't mind speaking off the cuff, i'm here to remind the supervisors to uphold and defend the constitution of the united states and by a world of the national document the 1848 declaration. constitution, we the people of the united states in order to form a more perform union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of a little bit to ourselves and posterity to ordain and establish this constitution for the united states of america.

1848. we hold these truths to be self evidence that all men and women are created equal by their creator with certain unaisle -- unalienable rights to the pursuit of happiness. to preserve these rights regarding the just powers from the consent of the govps governed. it is the right of those to insist upon the institution to organize a government as to them shall seem most likely to fact their safety and happiness.

>> thank you very much. >> good evening, supervisors, my name is pedro. i would like to make a recommended reading for all of you especially if you are doing anything suspicious. the make name of the book is extortion. it's been in talk shows on tv and he feels the obama administration has manipulated the political system very unfairly especially as it applies to obama's own supporters. i recommend that you read that because it might be relevant in your own political life. secondly, there is an interesting head line that i think is far more important.

chronicle has 26 people get 59.7 million over sandusky. i would like to propose how prevalent is homosexual crime especially child molestation. i think that's an important subject that is a lot more important that sugary drinks. the next head line from the chronicle as prosecutor. secret formula used for corruption. it mentioned the los angeles times received the pulitzer prize for the bell corruption case especially all the ugly details. i would like to suggest that chronicle and examiner do the same here in san francisco and they would probably win a pulitzer prize. the other head lines as jury

finds -- what a real shame the city would stab it's own firefighters on these promotional task. if you treat the firemen that way, shame on you. >> good evening. kids are still being shot in this culture of ours. all we do is talk about shooting and killing. recent ly in chicago, a submit -- summit

to talk about violence and imprisonment that will talk about the solutions but the problem will not be eliminated until we change the nature of this society. this country has always glorified the gun culture and general violence entertainment. with today's technological communication advances it is far worse until we can tackle the sacred cows of the entertainment industry it will never end and puts violence across all races and nationality and classes of people. there are some in this

culture. i lost my place. there are some in this and their obsession to keep the population highly competitive are turning the country into an crude rude culture in the world. as james car bell would say, it's the culture stupid. i'm not calling you stupid, but he said that. i think you wore me out. i'm barely staying awake. >> thank you, next speaker. >> tom gilbert from apartment with a n a little bit of tear in my heart. neil young, if you

look at that in google you will see a scar. a couple of comments, picture of the land i -- i i okay monterey. let's

drive down to -- it generates earthquakes. let's say good-bye to caramel and monterey. we can find a better way, closer to home space in this compact little city is a premium from ocean beach to candle stick park. embarcadero. the marina we do not want to encroach the embarcadero. if 8th wash ington wash was 30 percent affordable housing and 10 percent section 8. i would not it because it encroaches embarcadero. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker?

>> an carpal , resident for 20 years. i came here for the parks thing. but that's been continued. there are a few things that i left out of my communication relating to that particular topic. that can be our core problems or issues i should say that haven't been mitigated or any -- it just an appears there has been no thought about the citizen impact in any of these development agreements and the public private relationships and as we see with the friends of the public library, there is a lot of issues. would like the board of supervisors to consider maybe developing

whistle blower programs especially for non-profits because inform profit entities have the sec and other agencies looking at them. cities got it's own cities looking at them and mechanisms whether they are followed or not have those mechanisms in place. but the not-for-profit is pretty much nobody 's problem until something, until scandal hits. i would like to see something go into place sooner rather than later especially with all of these public private deals with non-profits. thank you for your time. >> are there any other members of the p be that wish to speak in general public comment? general public comment is now closed. >> marat -- madam clerk read our adoption calendar.

> >>. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ hi, i'm with sfgovtv i'm here to discuss prop a that will be before the voters in tuesday >> the health care truth fund was for health care correspondents that would substantially there. the 5 member board passed the fund they mate not use the fund to pay for the costs until january 20, 0200. preparing will allow the bodies to make payments from the fund only as the cities account balances to fully funded it has to be large enough to pay for

the costs as they're due and thus, the cities total payroll costs can't go over 10 percent. they must allow the payment and they're limited to no more than 10 percent of the cities account or the governor and the trust board passed it. they would allow only if the agrees fund account or two-thirds of the agencies funding board and the trust board productive. a yes vote means you want to change the charter from the health care trust funneled only under specified circumstances a no vote i don't want to make those changes.

i'm here with supervisor marking feral and he proponent of preparing >> thanks. having me. i'd like to start with supervisor farrell why do you believe this prop a is important >> i started working on this when our city controller said we have a 4.4 blindfolds liability. number one we have retirees who worked long and a hard tossed the city of san francisco and workers that are feasor full. that's something we want to avoid and fight against we want to make sure that our seniors have their health care that were second of all the costs for our city a hundreds of thousands of dollars. this year as chairman of our

committee b it will grow to $500 million a year over the next 20 years were so preparing prop a does make sure that our cities retirees and their health care is priority for in the further. in thirty years our 4 half a billion dollars liability will be wiped-out off the books and we'll save a lot of money from 5 hundred memorial day's a year down and those hundreds of dollars of million dollars dollars will go toward neighborhood things. and to make sure we put ourselves on a course everyone is sporting and i'm proud to be part of. mr. murphy would you recycle to speak to the opposition >> yes. thanks supervisor so far could not it's quite impressive our here to discuss

that human resources as the supervisor points out the city has a whole in the retirees health care budget about the half the size of the last budget. now prop a the city sets aside money and that's not a bad thing. the idea that we can just promise things to retirees and not pay for it is obviously not a responsible concept and not something i would endorse, however, prop a is on the hard choices that are associated with paipg for a 4 mrs. billion dollars health care be liability. you have to pull that money from somewhere and prop a puts the city on the hook for paying for that obligation that's usually

by putting >> funding requirement in the charter but it didn't tell you where that money comes from there has to be taxes in the in the meantime to come up with that money. so the question i would then prop is that prop a leafs unanswered is that where is the money going to come from and we shouldn't put ourselves on the hook >> supervisor farrell. >> thank you. the money isn't coming out of thin air but prop b this mauntdz that the city employees contribute 2 percent of their pay. and the city for 2008 matches that with one percent so new employees from as of 2009 two

percent of their health care is being saved it's not coming from taxpayers in san francisco it's from city applies from the city and county of san francisco >> mr. murphy. >> sure so one of the troubling points of prop a there's a catch all in the amendment that the contributions of the employee and accident planned contribution by the city are insufficient to meet the requirements of the truth you fund the city is on the hook for the balance. which means in practical terms we have to cut from somewhere else or raise taxes. and the picture of retiree health care where we can fund health care on 3 percent of people's annual salaries is
